Working… **edited**
Mondays are always busy for me. My husband doesn’t work on Mondays, so I try and use the day to get as much work done as I can while he watches the little free radicals we call children.
I admit, this morning I raced off to Last Chance to look for shoes for the kids- found them each a pair and a pair for me! Then, it was straight to work. This afternoon I’ve been working on graphics for Smeeks and Frances (I so love designing for Geroganne!)…. I think it’s ok to show you this, it is still pending approval, but I just love it and want to share:
What do you think of the candy jar? My husband thought at first glance it was a baby bottle…? Ok, after the comments and emails, it looks like most of you agree with my husband. So, here is a new version, more like a candy jar no?
Next up, spending time this evening in the studio working on more of these… What about you, how has your Monday been?

Cute graphics, Heather! Love the gnome! Maybe you could make the candy jar with a foot/pedestal thingy so it looks more jar-ish and less bottle-ish (?).

I have to say, I was just there on Friday (that’s a story) and they actually sell baby bottles filled with candy that look just like that graphic!

I like the second version a lot! Maybe make the mouth of the container a little wider and the rim of the top correspondingly. Big enough for a little hand to scoop out some candy
